| Beschreibung: | Summary: The story opens with Sir Charles Ravenstreet being ousted from the board of a company he helped build. Looking for a new direction, he is introduced to Sir Edwin Karney, right-hand man of Lord Mervil, who is looking for investors in a new drug. This drug is a sort of 2happy pill3 which will relieve all ones worries. On the way home, Ravenstreet sees a plane crash into a country pub. He goes to the rescue and finds three men, to whom he offers a place to stay. These are the magicians of the title. Who or what they are is never fully disclosed. Having convinced Ravenstreet that this new drug has sinister connotations, the three persuade him that he can turn his life around in a different way, and make him experience significant episodes in his past life, as though he was reliving them. This is called 2Time Alive3. Ravenstreet is then faced with certain choices, and is warned that the one which appears bleakest is in fact the best way forward |
